Leader of the "LNR" Leonid Pasechnik has stated that he had ordered the terrorist troops to be put on alert and promised to "move the line of contact". He said this in an urgent statement.

The head of the occupation administration once again accused Ukraine of shelling "civilians and civilian infrastructure". He stated that he had warned President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky that "if such actions continue on the part of the armed formations of Ukraine", illegal armed formations will take "decisive steps to move the line of contact" from critical vital infrastructure.

"For these purposes, I have already given relevant instructions on putting the units of the People's Militia on alert (self-designation of the "LNR" illegal armed formations - OstroV)", - the leader of the "republic" reported.

As previously reported, Russian occupation forces continue the provocative shelling of territory controlled by Ukraine. Moreover, the leaders of the Donbass "republics" do not have the authority to command the so-called "people's militia", since its corps are part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
